To My Other Half...

Dear You,

You requested that I write this because you saw my ill-fated letter writing challenge and wanted a letter of your own. Here goes nothing.

I've written notes to you before so I'll admit, I'm winging it right now because I don't know if there is much more I can say.

Wait, I got it.

Do you remember when I was talking about the future and expressed worry over the possibility of having to relocate. You told me that you'd go with me. You don't know how much of a weight your words had lifted off of my shoulders.

As graduation nears and the reality of having to find a job starts to hit, one of the things that has plagued me as I make my plans is the possibility that an plans I make could affect negatively affect our relationship and ultimately end it. I'm sure there are people that think I am too young to be thinking like that but I can't help my feelings. I see us having a future. Do I know what that future is? Hell no but I see one there and I don't want to jeopardize it.  

I just want you to promise me something. Please follow your dreams, whether they include me or not. I want you to be happy and I don't want you to look back and regret anything. I'll support you. 

I love you with every fiber of my being.

Ashleigh

(P.S. Happy now? lol) 

Crossroads...

Have you ever felt like everything was going your way and then it stopped?

Maybe I'm just getting impatient but I feel like my career isn't moving as fast as I want it to move. When people look at my resume they claim that I am accomplished and I've done so much but I feel like it isn't enough.

I'm lazy. I procrastinate. I need to write more. I know what's wrong with me. I just need the motivation to fix it.

If I play my cards right I'll be a college graduate next year. It's just hard trying to figure out which cards to play.
